title: Note on the autocorrelation coefficient as a test statistic for assessment of the goodness-of-fit of biokinetic models to multiple bioassay data sets.
abstract: The European Commission project IDEAS has produced guidelines for internal dose assessments from monitoring data. A key stage in the guidelines requires assessment of the goodness-of-fit of biokinetic models to bioassay data. The present note extends the use of an autocorrelation coefficient to assess the fits of multiple types of bioassay quantity simultaneously.
